Some things go right
ByDerekNow that I’ve returned from my trip, it’s back to tackling the new house to-do list. We had our large, woodburning masonry fireplace inspected and it passed with flying colors, so I have 3 cords of wood being delivered on Sunday. We’ve had some new furniture delivered. I’ve gotten half the garage cleared out so…

Holy shit, I’m agreeing with Higgins
ByDerekI finally had the opportunity to listing to WNYMedia’s interview with Congressman Higgins. Who would have guessed that we’d be actually be agreeing on Route 5 issues? Higgins said, “The fact of the matter is according to the Department of Transportation, you have some 43,000 vehicles that travel from the Southtowns into the city of…

Oh, Eliot
ByDerekDear Governor Spitzer, I’m not going to spend much time on this letter, because I’m fairly certain you’re not going to understand it anyways. It’s hard to teach an old Democrat new concepts, like economics. I read through your State of Upstate address and boy was I impressed. It’s astounding how someone who spent so…

Quiz time
ByDerekAmanda and I have returned from a wonderful week long vacation! We made three main stops. The previous photos were from one of those locations. These two are from the third location. Bonus points if you can name this place based on these photos. Friends and family who knew where we were going are disqualified!…

Wing Festival wrapup
ByDerekSince RandomThoughts101 asked, yes, we did make it down to the Wing Festival. The wings were, as always, excellent.

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
